Server Status Icon

[ziggycat]

hi, im a noob with xbmc and was hoping someone may be able to write a script for me, im currently using pmiii skin with a few additional button to start/stop my server.

what would be nice is if on the home screen at the top i could have the server status displayed online or offline. it would just need to ping the server on a static ip every min or so to see if is contactable,

heres an image of what im talking about

it would be great if this worked, so any help appreciated.

thanks :)
